Thanksgiving

 We had a wonderful Thanksgiving with Jeremy's family.  We enjoyed yummy food, shopping, going to the movies, playing games, and even a baby blessing.  Jeremy's family also took pictures over Thanksgiving, so I thought I would post some.  Poor Bryce had just woken up from a nap and was crying the majority of the time, but we did get a few shots of him without tears.  I am so thankful for my family.  I love being a mother and watching my kids grow.  I feel very blessed to live in such a wonderful place and to be surrounded by amazing people.  I'm one lucky...or I should say blessed girl!

 

Glasses

 My Michael just got glasses a couple weeks ago and I think he is pretty cute in them.  I decided to take him to the optometrist since Jer and I have such horrible eyesight, and I wanted to make sure he could see well for school.  And don't ya know it....he was having a little trouble seeing and now needs glasses. Luckily he only needs them for school right now.  It makes him seem so much older.  How I love that little guy!

Halloween

 Who doesn't love Halloween!  Going to peoples houses and they all give you candy!  My kids can't understand why this holiday only comes once a year.  We had some great family parties with Jer's family and my family and we enjoyed a nice Halloween night with just our little family.  Jer and I each took turns taking the kids trick-or-treating and they got loaded down with treats.  We had superhero themed Halloween this year and the boys thought that was awesome!

Soccer

 It's soccer season again!  Michael just finished playing his third season of soccer.  I love watching him run around after the ball.  It's so cute.  He had a lot of fun this year and was even able to play goalie a couple of times.  My parents came and cheered him on and Bryce loved to cheer "go Michael, kick the ball".  It will be fun when both boys can play.  Good job Mikey for showing off your soccer skills!

Juliet's Blessing

 Juliet was blessed this past Sunday by her daddy.  It was a wonderful blessing and I am so grateful that my husband was able to do this.  She did great and was happy just to be held and surrounded by those that love her.  Thank you to everyone who came down and supported us.  This little girl is such a blessing to our family and we adore her.

Vacation Time

It's time for a vacation.  Jeremy and I love to get away as a family and try to escape from reality and spend some quality time together.  For our family vacation this year, we headed up to Bear Lake for a week.  We spent the first three days with just our family and then my parents and siblings joined us for the last 4 days.  We even celebrated Michael and Poppops birthday. It was so much fun.  We spent our days playing in the pool, playing at the park, hiking, playing at the lake, and just spending time together.  After all, the family that plays together, stays together!

Lake Time with just us - the boys loved floating in the raft and feeding the seagulls
